Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- one 3-inch square tempeh
- 2 slices good-quality, crusty white sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoon almond-yogurt sauce (recipe below)
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 6-8 very thin cucumber slices
- 3 teaspoon almond butter
- one 6-ounce container plain soy yogurt
- 1 tablespoon minced cilantro
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a small skillet. Fry the tempeh on medium heat, browning on both sides and heating throughout. Meanwhile, spread both slices of the bread with the sauce. Top 1 slice with shredded carrots, cucumber slices, and tempeh; assemble sandwich and serve.
- Place the almond butter in small bowl. Add ½ of the yogurt and whisk until smooth, using a fork. Add the remaining yogurt and whisk again. Stir in the cilantro and serve. Makes about 1 cup.
